This is Max. Back in 2011 I lived in Wisconsin and got a bonded pair of kittens. Max and his brother. I got them from a shelter so thankfully they were microchipped. In 2014 we moved from northern WI to Central Florida with Max in tow. At that time Max decided he loved the FL weather and wanted to be an outdoor cat. He would dart out doors at every possible moment. So one day he got out.

I reported him missing on his microchip. Over the years he was seen a block over from our house with an old man. This man denied up and down it was Max. There was nothing more I could do. He refused to give him back.

So fast forward to October 2024 and I get a hit on his microchip. Max was found and at the shelter. I picked him up the same day and was told by the shelter that the man he was with had passed away and the family didn't want him so they left him outside. Max had a bite on his neck and some scratches but was otherwise ok.

So now after almost a full 10 years Max is back with us. He's currently still microchipped and now sports an air tag.
